What's on in Stotfold

Bedfordshire, England

Share:X / TwitterFacebookWhatsApp

Stotfold sits quietly in Bedfordshire, a bit like a well-kept secret that refuses to stay hidden forever. There are always activities popping up near the village green or down by the local shops. Not bad for a place so close to London yet far from the rush. Even if there aren't any big venues listed right now, the community spirit keeps things moving. A quick walk around might just reveal a pop-up market or a gathering you didn't know was on. Near Here makes sure you don't miss what's going on without having to ask round the village.

Decades Ii : Snubcat / Zeroes / The Polaroidz

DECADES II After last year’s sold-out show, DECADES returns with another fundraiser for CLUB 85 and another massive night of music and nostalgia. 3 bands playing 3 decades of awesome music from the ‘80s, ’90s and ‘00s, all in the name of live music and the love we all share for Hitchin’s premium live music venue; the incredible Club 85. Last year saw people being turned away at the door, so we’re recommending everyone to get your tickets in advance (and save yourself a couple of quid while you’re at it!). At only £8 in advance, with every penny going to Club 85, join us for another unforgettable night x Snubcat Dedicated to the era that saw guitar music become front and centre of mainstream culture. ‘90s indie/britpop had a bit of everything; it was silly, it was boisterous, and it was loud! It had characters and rivalries. It was dance, it was heavy, it was sensitive, but most of all, it was a movement that brought Britain together in a celebration of the incredible music this country can produce. And yeah, having a few pints along the way. The final set at Decades lets us all meet up in the 1990s (almost fully grown)! Zeroes 2006 and the release of Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not changed everything – so we’re celebrating 20 years of the Arctic Monkeys at this one-off gig. Join Zeroes for a high-energy live set packed with their biggest anthems – from the raw chaos of “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor” to the singalong swagger of “Fluorescent Adolescent”.

The 900 – The Tony Hawk Pro Skater Cover Band + Guests! 7:30pm | Sat 9th May | Club 85, Hitchin. Picture this… It’s August 1999, people are getting excited about Red and Blue Pills, Star Wars have embarked on the first of their many prequel films, frosted tips & Sea Monkeys are all the rage and the Dalek-esque tones of Dial-Up fill the airwaves and landlines… But none of that is important because Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater has just entered the world of video games with a Soundtrack that we simply weren’t ready for! The 900 are the UK’s first and only Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater cover band. Formed by their mutual understanding that no other soundtrack could ever top THPS, The 900 gives you a reason for your back to hurt in the morning. With the approval of the Birdman himself they’re ready to kickflip into every big banger from THPS1 to American Wasteland. So roll back the years, get in the pit and come thrash around to some of the best Punk Rock and Ska tracks from Tony Hawk’s legendary series featuring tracks from the likes of Rage Against The Machine, Nirvana, Dead Kennedys, Millencolin, Bodyjar, Green Day, Alien Ant Farm, Refused, Ramones, AFI, Johnny Cash, Black Flag, Misfits, Adolescents, Agent Orange, Goldfinger, Less Than Jake, Flogging Molly, No FX, CKY, Motorhead, Suicidal Tendacies, Papa Roach, Bad Religion, Fu Manchu, System Of A Down, Lagwagon, My Chemical Romance, Powerman 5000, Queens of the Stone Age, Swingin’ Utters, Zebrahead, Kiss and many more.
